KAREN’S TRIP
TO BOLIVIA
10 NIGHTS/4 STOPS
Cultural wealth and mind blowing landscapes of Bolivia
“We enjoyed discovering Bolivia, a country full of contrast between colonial and mining towns and an astonishing diversity of landscapes. We found Sucre to be very charming: a mixture of museums and churches in a colonial architecture. Our trip to the Salar de Uyuni with its magnificent landscapes blew us away. This is an exotic trip marked with authenticity. Our budget for the whole trip was around $ 1650 per person for 10 nights (included food and activities).”

GOOD TO KNOW
-
Check the opening hours of the museums as they are often closed during lunchtime.
-
Plan to have some cash with you in Tupiza and the Salar de Uyuni.
-
Beware of altitude sickness when traveling to Bolivia. The places that you will visit are at a minimum altitude of 3,000m, up to 4,800m in the Desert of Siloli. Most people can feel sick for a couple of days until their body has acclimatized, making it more of an inconvenience than a serious concern. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the facts, risks and symptoms associated with altitude sickness and what to do if you fall ill during your travel.
-
The Salar tour: minimum comfort in the hotels (but there are some with a better comfort), no wi-fi, warm clothing is necessary as it gets cold at night and there is no heating, no shower in two of the hotels, there can be electricity limitations.
